the server is running either of France or elsewhere. il s'agit bien d'une adresse IP V4 DNSchanger inutile.
For to activate Windows 8 Pro WMC, you could use an Retail Key only and activate NORMAL, over the Internet. That would be possible after the October 26. the Release to the public. Till than you have to use an Windows Client GVLK key and activate without WMC installed using an KMS Server.
Tito suggested using Up Down 8 to remove WMC after which you should be able to activate. See his post which was in response to query Is it possible to remove WMC to activate with Dream Spark Key posted on 9 September.
now can anybody tell me what key to use to activate Win8 Pro x64 while installing, and what trick/method/loader to use to activate Win8 after installing it ? What Do I have to type in CMD to activate Win8 PERMANENTLY ?
First, for key check your PM Second, you can buy key from MS after 26th Oct. No loader is currently available to activate it. Third, at present the KMS activation is available (which is not permanent as it activate only for 180 days). The KMS activation is safe and secure as in period of 180 days, there will be more server available.
No guarantee 180 days in the future. At the very best, KMS servers exposed to the internet will appear and disappear randomly.
I am sorry if this is common knowledge here on MDL forums, but... is this KMS activation safe? I mean, who runs these servers? Won't Microsoft be able to detect and ban such activations?
The only thing MS can do is turn off the KMS server being used. As for the people that used it to activate, we are safe. There is no way MS can ban or block us if we activated using that KMS server because if tht wasa the case then legit people (ie students and staff) would also be blocked and MS cant do that. If you have activated via KMS dont worry, your safe
Due to the fact it´s an universal solution to activate systems against a kms host with legit gvlk keys, what should MS do against it? Deactivate all ? Not that easy as in case of specific MAK or retail keys. If there is any major change in hardware, activation disappears. So can it be called safe...? As long as this way works, who cares who is running these servers. In that case seems to be an university or equivalent facility. Regards EDIT: @Lunar21 Nice coincidence.
1) I did run cmd as "Admin" 2) Did it 1 line at a time 3) Replaced the "/" with "-" and still got the error 4) Same problem lol Thanks for your help though
Try in this form (all stays in cmd, no popups: Code: cscript slmgr.vbs /ipk YOUR-KEY-HERE-XXXXX cscript slmgr.vbs /skms 147.134.1.42 cscript slmgr.vbs /ato cscript slmgr.vbs /ckms Or use the context menu from my signature. Regards
Wrong!! slmgr -ipk xxxxx.xxxxx.xxxxx.xxxxx.xxxxx slmgr -skms xxxxxxxx.xxxxxx.............................. slmgr -ato If you don't know what key is installed use: slmgr -dli first and you'll get the last 5 digits from the installed key. Be sure that the key used is an GVLK key and NOT and WMC key! Replace the xxxxx with the real figures, every command end with press Enter and wait confirmation before key in the next command.
